The CAMRA Kernow team offered “massive congratulations” to the pub’s landlord Matt Reay and his team, and said that it was “a pleasure” to announce that The ‘Front had taken first in both categories.

“We would like to award a Runner-Up CAMRA Kernow Pub of the Year which goes to the Bell Inn, Launceston who were exceptionally close to the title,” said a CAMRA Kernow spokesperson.

“Congratulations to Ivor, Linda and their team in Launceston. Making the final selection is a massive accolade in itself and acknowledge highly commended status to the Red Lion, the Old Ale House, the Stable Fistral and the Stable Falmouth.”

How is it judged?

It’s a meticulous process to choose the winners and not one that is taken lightly.

As well as naming Pub of the Year, the team also selects pubs to make it into the annual CAMRA Good Beer Guide, of which 62 Cornish pubs will feature this year.
